Aron Nimzowitsch 1928-1935
Author: Aron NimzowitschPublisher: New In Chess
ISBN: 9056915169
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Aron Nimzowitsch (1886 – 1935) was the most influential chess thinker of the 20th century. His books ‘My System’ (1925) and ‘Chess Praxis’ (1928) had tremendous impact and continue to be printed, sold and read to this day. Every chess player who is serious about improving his game, studies the lessons of this great Russian-born innovator. During several decades of research German chess historian Rudolf Reinhardt compiled, from an immense variety of sources, all the games Nimzowitsch played after 1928. They are presented with notes by Nimzowitsch himself and, in some cases, by his contemporaries. In addition to the games Reinhardt also collected the articles and essays that Nimzowitsch wrote during the last seven years of his life. Reinhardt’s collection offers a unique view of the chess world of the late 1920s and 1930s, its top tournaments and the state of theory. More importantly, it portrays Nimzowitsch the chess player and author in the last seven years of his short life. It is all there: the fights, the competitors and the polemics, all in the incomparable style of the master: pointed, elegant, precise and highly original. The book starts where Nimzowitsch’s second volume Chess Praxis ends. Richard Reinhardt, who died unexpectedly when writing the preface to his monumental collection, did not exaggerate when he called it the unauthorized sequel to the classics Nimzowitsch himself published during his lifetime. ,

Book Description
Even by the standards of the cities of the former Yugoslavia, the Slovenian capital Bled has an outstanding chess tradition. In 1959 the first half of the marathon (28-round!) FIDE Candidates' tournament took place there, and in more recent times it hosted the 35th FIDE Olympiad. In 1931, World Champion Alexander Alekhine scored one of the greatest successes of his illustrious career, winning the great Bled international tournament with the score of 201/2 / 26, undefeated and 51/2 points clear of Bogoljubov in 2nd place. In 1961, to mark the 30th anniversary of that famous event, a 'Jubilee International Chess Tournament' was held. It was in the second round that Fischer beat Tal, the latter's only loss, and was the only one who went through the tournament undefeated! Tal won the tournament with 14.5 points, with Bobby second with 13.5. But Bobby beat Tal in their individual game, and so Bobby comes home a "moral" victor.
